alt Hacker NewsSo a useless drug has made billions and took 30 years to be taken off the market . And who knows what damage it’s done ? Can we go back to being suspicious of pharmaceutical companies and the fda ?

No you're believing in conspiracies.
It would require the whole scientist communities and the sanctioning organisations to work together in order to validate a drug that is basically infective. Because you see before a drug is out on the market there are a lot of testing on animals, then humans and they have control group to measure how effective (or not) it is.
Things like that CANT happen.
Obviously I'm being sarcastic, that's the usual argument: you can't possibly have all scientist and federal organisation work together on malicious drugs.
The truth is that it happens, see that drug or the oxycontin. It just requires some shity people and the rest of scientist community to not care.
Some of us were suspicious all along. Especially of Pfizer.
But such suspicions became socially dangerous right around the time that Pfizer stood to make multiple billions selling a novel treatment for a recent pandemic.

I don't think it's done any damage, it's just not effective.
